| Abstract: |
We have used the Stokes radiative transfer code to model polarization induced by dust scattering in the polar regions of active galactic nuclei (AGN). We discuss the wavelength-dependence of the spectral intensity and polarization over the optical/UV range at different viewing angles for two different types of dust: a Galactic dust model and a dust model inferred from extinction properties of AGN. The Stokes code and documentation are freely available at http://www.stokes-program.info/. |
